:) I just updated to the lastest Cygwin and figured I'd try pine.

:) | Pine Exiting.
:) | Aborted (core dumped)
:)
:) ... and pine exited, leaving my INBOX kind of corrupted.

:) Anyone else seeing this?  Any ideas what's going on?  When I install
:) Cygwin I choose "DOS" as the default file type but I've never known
:) what that actually *does* (and I probably have no reason to choose it);
:) I guess it's possible that my troubles relate to whatever setting

The diagnosis of your problem is correct. Your problem comes from the fact
that you have chosen "DOS" over "UNIX". You will need to change it "unix".
This is one of the symptoms of the error. Your addressbook should not be
working either. Pine needs those "\n", over "\r\n". Please notice that
this may require you to restart Pine from scratch (new .pinerc,
.addressbook, etc).

Is there a way to know if a user is using DOS instead of UNIX in their
installation? I would be insterested in looking into this, although it may
be a major change in Pine.
